[reportlab-users] graphics/charts/axes.py TypeError: _makeLines() takes at most 8 arguments (10 given)

[M Hubenthal]

  Hi,

I am not much of a python programmer and am hoping someone can point me 
in the correct direction.  I found nothing in searching the archives.

I am in the process of upgrading the operating environment for an 
application that has been using reportlab 2.0 for six years.  On a fresh 
install with 2.5, I received a traceback similar to the one below.  
Going back to current development environment, I stepped through the 
reportlab versions and found that things break down in 2.4.  In 
comparing the two versions,  it is clear _makeLines was expanded, but 
why does python think it only takes up to 8 arguments and it there 
something I can do to move forward?

2.3

     def 
_makeLines(self,g,start,end,strokeColor,strokeWidth,strokeDashArray,parent=None):

                 
self._makeLines(g,tU,-tD,self.strokeColor,sW,self.strokeDashArray)

2.4

self._makeLines(g,tU,-tD,self.strokeColor,sW,self.strokeDashArray,self.strokeLineJoin,self.strokeLineCap,self.strokeMiterLimit)
